Process To Designate Anambra As NDDC Oil-Producing State Begins At Senate by Naijadaily: 8:28am On Nov 27, 2023

The bill to amend the Act of the Niger-Delta Development Commission to enable the inclusion of Anambra among the list of oil producing states scaled first reading at the Senate.

The proposed enactment sponsored by Anambra North Senator Tony Nwoye is aimed at amending Section 2(1)(b) of the NDDC Establishment ACT CAP N 86 LFN 2004 which would enable the commission to enlist the South-Eastern State among its list of oil producing states.

Two years ago the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) granted its approval for Anambra to join the list of oil producing states.

According to RMAFC it attributed 11 oil wells to the state and declared that henceforth Anambra will be eligible to benefit from the 13 per cent derivation fund, which minerals-producing states in Nigeria are statutorily entitled to.

However, despite this the NDDC are yet to accord the state such status.

At the last plenary of the Senate Presided by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Nwoye's Bill was introduced by the Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele and passed first reading after its short title was read by the Senate clerk Senate clerk, Barrister Chinedu Akubueze.

An insight into the bill reveals that 2 Section 2(1)(b) of the Principal Act is amended by; (a) inserting the following as new subparagraph (iii) which reads: Amendment of section2 "(iii) Anambra State" and (b) renumbering the existing subparagraph (iii) - (ix) as Amendment of Section 2 subparagraph (iv) - (x).

Subsequently Amendment of Section 4 is repealed by (a) inserting the following as new paragraph ( c ): "(c) Anambra State"; and (b) renumbering the existing paragraphs (c) -(i) as paragraph (d)-(j).

Followed by the amendment of section 30 of the Commission's Principal Act by word" Anambra" immediately after the word "Akwa-Ibom".

Currently the 2000 Act establishing the NDDC recognises nine states as oil producing they are;Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Imo, Abia, Cross River and Akwa Ibom.

Recently it was reported that the Nation's mainstay has been found in other parts of the country including Anambra which is said to be already producing 0.9% as well as Bauchi, Gombe, Nasarawa, Kogi, and Lagos States.

While Edwin Clark is saying that membership of the NDDC should be limited to the S/South states, those in power are making efforts to include more states. The only thing that will solve this problem is true federalism/total resource control.

Lagos should be added as well




NB:

for all the ignoramus on this thread



If you add all the oil produced by South-Easten States together, it is not up to what is gotten from Ondo state.

Which explains why Ondo gets more than all the southeast state from the 13% derivation fund.

Google is your friend.

It’s Good that the next head of NDDC should come from Anambra. Coal is also a form of fossil fuel so enugu and kogi should be included too.

But Lagos the perennial propagandists claimed was already out producing with 50,000 barrels per day production, is yet to be accredited as oil producing grin

Dumbos think everything is achieved with senseless lies and stupid propaganda.

Na waa oo.

NDDC is Totally different from “Oil-Producing States” in meaning and in description naa..

NIGER-DELTA STATES are the States that fall within the DELTA-regions of the River-Niger,, and they have their peculiar Natural and Environmental characteristics, gains and problems..

So tell me..
If Oil is being produced in Kebbi State, does that qualify Kebbi State to be a part of NDDC.??


We must stop accepting NONSENSE in this our Country.

..
.

It's time we start asking the right QUESTIONS..



**Modified:
** Let the NDDC be reformed in such a way that it should be the “Development Commission” for the States that actually fall within the Niger-Delta... Then, the South-South Zone should have a “South-South Development Commission”, just the way we have “Development Commissions” for the other Zones..
If there are any zones that do not have their own “Development Commission” yet, then their Senators and Reps-Members should push for it..

And then,, ALL the Oil Producing States should come together and have A new Umbrella Body.. Since it is now very clear that “Oil” is not found ONLY in the Niger-Delta Area.
